02 · What you can do
Vectorize an image in one click
Recraft Vectorize traces your image into shapes and paths. Here is what it does well and what to expect.
A real SVG file
The download is an actual .svg made of vector paths, not a PNG wrapped in an SVG tag. You can scale it from a favicon to a billboard without it turning blurry.
Logos from a JPG or PNG
Only have your logo as a small JPG or a screenshot? Convert it to a vector to get clean edges for print, signage, embroidery files or a website.
Icons and flat illustrations
Simple shapes, solid colors and clear outlines trace best. Icons, badges, stickers and flat artwork come out close to the original.
Open it in your design tool
Open the SVG in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape or any editor that reads SVG, and move, recolor or delete the paths like any other vector.
Photos become stylized art
A photo has no hard shapes to trace, so it comes back as a stylized, poster-like picture built from color shapes. Useful as an effect, not as a faithful copy.
Preview before you download
The original and the vector appear side by side, so you can check the shapes and colors first. Past conversions stay in your history.

04 · Why AI
Why use an AI vectorizer instead of tracing by hand
Minutes of tracing in one click
Redrawing a logo with the pen tool takes time and a steady hand. The vectorizer traces the shapes for you, and you only tidy up what you want to change.
Cleaner than basic auto-trace
Classic auto-trace tools need thresholds and color counts tuned by trial and error, and often leave jagged edges. Recraft Vectorize gives smooth shapes without settings.
Infinitely scalable
A PNG has a fixed number of pixels. An SVG is made of math, so the same file stays sharp on a business card, a T-shirt or a shop sign.

07 · FAQ
Image to SVG Converter FAQ
What is an image to SVG converter?
A tool that turns a pixel image (PNG or JPG) into an SVG, a vector file made of shapes and paths. An AI model traces the outlines and colors of your image, so the result can be scaled to any size without losing sharpness.
Is the Image to SVG Converter free?
New accounts get 5 free credits, and Recraft Vectorize runs from 3 credits per image, so you can try it without paying. After that it runs on credits; the button shows the price before you run, and a failed run costs nothing.
Is the output a real vector file?
Yes. You download a .svg file made of vector paths. Open it in Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape or a browser and zoom in: the edges stay sharp.
Which images convert best?
Logos, icons, badges, line art and flat illustrations with clear shapes and a limited set of colors. The sharper and larger the source, the cleaner the paths.
Can I convert a photo to SVG?
You can, but a photo will come back as a stylized picture built from flat color shapes, not a faithful copy. That can look great as poster art; for a realistic image, keep the original PNG or JPG.
Can I edit the SVG afterwards?
Yes. The paths open in any vector editor, where you can move, recolor, simplify or delete them. How neatly the shapes are grouped depends on the image, so expect to tidy a complex file.
What file types can I upload?
One PNG or JPG at a time, up to 10 MB. The result is always an SVG file.
Can I make an SVG logo from scratch?
This tool converts an image you already have. To create a new vector logo or icon from a description, use Recraft V3 SVG, which generates SVG files directly from text.
What can’t I upload?
Sexual or explicit images are not allowed. Only convert logos and artwork you own or have the right to use; vectorizing someone else’s trademark does not give you the right to use it.
